Affinity: Chaos Chapter 977 Why Didn't I Think Of That Sooner?!

Chapter 977 Why Didn’t I Think Of That Sooner?!

The Nether Faction was looking at Grey with a look of shock and hatred. Of eleven people left, Grey had single-handedly eliminated three people. Adding the young lady in the Eighth stage, he had eliminated four people, which was almost one-fourth of all the people from the Nether Faction.

Those at the Peak had only eliminated two people each, but Grey had eliminated double their figures. It was staggering when one realizes he is the one with the lowest level. He was still in the Fifth stage, well, no one believes that anyway.

Grey was already in his seat, his eyes closed. This time, the leader of the Burchard Family approached him.

"Kid, are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm good." Grey opened his eyes to look at the man standing in front of him.

"Take this, it should help with healing your injuries and help you recover your elemental essence." The leader tossed a small orb to him. The orb was only the size of a finger, but Grey could sense the powerful elemental essence stored in it, as well as the healing power it contained.

Grey took it without hesitation, he needed this. Using the Fusion State so many times in such a short amount of time was a little tiring, it was already starting to take its toll on him, but he was trying his best to hide it from the view of people.

Not just that, but he had been injured on some occasions, and even with the Fusion State, these injuries added to his exhaustion.

He swallowed the orb that looked like a small pill before thanking the leader of the Burchard Family and shutting his eyes once again. He needed to make the most of the time he had right now.

Currently, the Nether Faction had only five people, while the Burchard Family had four people. This was a large contrast when compared to the start of the second round when they had two more people. Now, they had only one extra person.

According to the rules, Grey was the next person to challenge someone. When the old man turned to him, Grey shook his head.

"I'll pa.s.s."

The old man nodded.

He turned to the Nether Faction's camp, signaling them that it was their turn once again.

Bill wasn't the one to step out this time, rather, it was a young lady who was at the Peak.

When she finished climbing the platform, her eyes trailed on the bodies of those at the Peak on the side of the Burchard Family before stopping on Grey's figure. Once again, he had been challenged.

It was clear that those from the Nether Faction already saw him as a threat and wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible. The strength he had shown so far meant that he was no weaker than a Peak Sage Plane Elementalist, so they wanted to use the exhaustion strategy to eliminate him.

Everyone could tell that he was already exhausted, so fighting against someone at the Peak should be out of bounds for him.

"Such a shameless group, if you know you're strong enough, why don't you challenge me?" Scott scolded.

"What do you mean? I only want a real challenge, and he's the strongest in your group. Do you think I want to lower my standards by fighting you? Dream on." The young lady chuckled.

Her words. .h.i.t those geniuses from the Burchard Family heavily, however, they couldn't refute it. Grey does seem to be the strongest person in their group, so technically, she wasn't wrong.

"Fight me, let him rest." Scott didn't want to give up.

"Do you have two domains?" The young lady asked with a mocking tone.

"I…" Scott wanted to say something but words couldn't leave his mouth. Yes, he had awakened his domain, but compared to a freakish ent.i.ty like Grey, he only had one.

"Stay by the side and learn from him, it'll help you." The young lady mocked.

Grey was already on the platform at this time. His body language was the same as when he first stepped on the platform, and his expression, the same.

"You're something." The young lady tried to start up a conversation with him.

Grey looked at her for a second before turning his eyes to the old man. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to the young lady, not just that, but he also wanted to leave this place as soon as he could.

Seeing Grey's arrogant manner, the young lady snorted coldly.

The old man gave the nod for the battle to start.

The young lady attacked the moment the old man gave the nod for the start of the battle.

Grey was already prepared for something like this as he blocked the attack but was pushed back.

The young lady attacked once again with the lightning element.

Grey used the Fusion State once again before dodging the attacks of the young lady.

The young lady didn't want to give him the time he wanted since they already knew how dangerous he was. From his first battle with the young man at the Peak, they all could tell that he was an experienced fighter. The only thing the young lady felt gave her the advantage right now was that Grey was tired.

Grey didn't start attacking immediately, he only focused on evading and blocking attacks. He was biding his time.

'The array I placed the last time has been wiped out. That cunning man.'

Grey was thinking about how to fight against this person. He knew he could win, but with his current state, exploding out as he did against the young man in the Ninth stage was not a good idea since it will only exhaust him further.

'I'll take her out with a single attack.'

Grey planned his next move as he waited patiently. He was waiting for an opening, one that he could use to take down his opponent without wasting too much energy.

He suddenly recalled something and couldn't help but want to smack his head.

'Why didn't I think of that sooner?!'
